Same shape and texture, but not Ikura.

This pairing of small black and red tobiko (flying fish roe) may resemble minute pieces of Ikura, but sadly it is not. Tobiko are smaller than a piece of Ikura, but are larger than Masago (capelin roe). Tobiko come in a variety of colors with sizes ranging from 0.5mm to 0.8mm.
